TORONTO—Commuter rail traffic is back to normal in the Greater Toronto Area after police made arrests at a protest that emerged during rush hour on Feb. 25, as part of ongoing rail blockades across the country.

Toronto police say they arrested three people at the demonstrations in the city’s west end, that were in support of Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs who oppose a natural gas pipeline cutting across their traditional territory.
